This Saturday we will meet at Inspiration Point in Tilden Park (Inspiration Point map).
Carpooling is always encouraged. We will meet at 8:00 and start running by 8:15.
Marathoners will run 9 miles. Half marathoners are encouraged to join for a 6 mile run. Both will run out and back.
Remember to bring water and fuel! There is no water along the course and we will not be able to set up an aid station (but we will have snacks at the end). There are pit toilets at the start.
